Anti-Aging Hair Products

We tested 73 products on 579 volunteers, took more than 2,700 lab measurements, and tallied 1,055 questionnaires to find 17 top performers that really deliver on their promise of shinier, fuller, younger-looking hair. Find out how we tested anti-aging hair products and meet the anti-aging experts behind this massive undertaking.

Best Permanent Hair Color: Silver Winner

Silver Winner: Couture Colour ($30, nine shades, Sephora or Amazon.com) was a close second overall, and a panelist favorite for thorough gray coverage; rich, even color; fade resistance; and making hair shiny. "It stayed true to color and didn't fade. I loved the way it made my hair feel. It was amazing!" said one tester. Its shine-enhancing secret: a one-month supply of pequi oil treatment, derived from the Amazonian pequi fruit, instead of the usual conditioner included in a permanent haircolor kit. And, indeed, Couture Colour did edge out Revlon in the lab's shine-retention evaluation. Plus, testers were relieved that the dye didn't have a noxious smell. "I loved the scent. I never knew a haircolor existed that didn't have a chemical scent," reported a panelist.

Tip: To help dye-resistant gray, leave the color on for the longest recommended time possible.
